WWE 2K23 game announced, will feature John Cena on the cover

After teasing the announcement for some time, 2K Games has revealed new details about its new WWE game, WWE 2K23. The successor to last year’s title will feature veteran wrestler John Cena on the cover and is up for pre-order now. It will officially be released on March 17, 2023, but players who pre-ordered the ‘Icon’ or the ‘Deluxe’ edition will be able to play it as early as March 14.
The game’s ‘Showcase’ mode shifts its focus from Rey Mysterio to John Cena for this year. It will allow players to experience his extensive career in the game and feature commentary from the Showcase wrestler himself.

WWE 2K23 key features: WarGames match, new Showcase mode, and more
This year’s entry finally brings a new type of game, WarGames, which has become popular over time. In this type of match, players can compete inside a double-sized steel cage with two wrestling rings. WarGames match type supports 3v3 and 4v4 single-player and multiplayer gameplay.
A popular game mode in the WWE 2K series, the Showcase mode, will be very different in WWE 2K23. In an interesting turn of events, this time the mode will put players in the shoes of the toughest Showcase wrestler opponents. Previous renditions of Showcase mode only allowed players to control the Showcase wrestler.

Additionally, other modes such as MyGM, MyFACTION, MyRISE, and Universe also received updates. Notably, MyFACTION now has a team creation mode and allows players to compete with their factions online.
WWE 2K23 editions: Standard, Cross-gen, Deluxe, and Icon
Like last time, the game is available in three editions, which differ in cover art, price, and pre-order content. Additionally, a cross-gen bundle – priced at Rs 4,999 – is also available with the same pre-order content as the basic but supports both previous-gen and next-gen platforms.
